RUBEN GONZALES, TDCJ-CID No. 02188528, Plaintiff, v. SANDRA L. WATTS, et al., Defendants.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION TO DISMISS COMPLAINT
LEE ANN RENO UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On November 28, 2022, the Court docketed Plaintiff's “Motion to Dismiss/Abandon Said Civil Case,” in which Plaintiff indicates that he “does not wish to entertain this said civil case any further in any way, form, or fashion.” (ECF 13). The undersigned interprets this pleading as a self-executing notice of voluntary dismissal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i), the filing of which divested the Court of jurisdiction. See Qureshi v. United States, 600 F.3d 523, 525 (5th Cir. 2010).
For that reason, it is the recommendation of the undersigned that the complaint filed by Plaintiff be dismissed and the Clerk be directed to close this action.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERVICE
The United States District Clerk is directed to send a copy of these Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation to each party by the most efficient means available.
IT IS SO RECOMMENDED.
